I am so confused. I am trying to set up my mp3 tag to do the following: Make a folder: Format value "_DIRECTORY": %artist% - %year% - %comment% - %album% Change the filename (and, if there are disc numbers, make a folder based on those values.): Format value "_FILENAME": [Disc %discnumber%\]%art…

I think that the problem is that the actions go through the list file by file. And as soon as you have treated the first file, the newly named folder exists and either the other files (which are moved along with the first file to the new folder) try to rename the relative folder again or they do no…

[image] ohrenkino: I gave you hints on alternative proceedings. Perhaps you try that first? I don't really see how I could use your advice for absolute paths though.... Unless you know of some way to set absolute paths and still have it save to many different paths. I mean.. maybe I am just …

[image] krissasaur: ...Maybe I am mistaken, but if I use absolute paths, wouldn't I have to make 20+ different actions? ... If you only rename the current directory, then this is referenced by a relative path. I don't know anything about the way you structure your files. But when you use M…

[image] ohrenkino: A good absolute path for music could look like: e:\mymusic\%albumartist%\%year% - %album%\%albumartist%%album%$num(%track%,2)_%title% Crap, you replied before I finished editing my last post: Okay so I decided to try and make an inbox type folder and used this: Z:\!mp3ta…

[image] ohrenkino: If you have a settled folder structure where you have the folders in the right quantity only the names are not correct: use the Format value action for _DIRECTORY If you still want to create new folders (like for CDs) then use the Format value action for _FILENAME. And stil…

[image] poster: I don't know much about your tags and how they are filled but such a long folder-structure with additional long filenames and even the tag %comment% in folder-structure and filename would definitey create too long paths including filenames and exceed the allowed limit of 255 cha…

It happens with directories too. Remember:
